I can for sure feel that Eb and Ab are flat becuase of the extra load 3rd slide.

I cut the 3rd slide shorter by about .300, and add a trigger for D and C#.

Works great, looks good. The 80 is a very nice instrument

You know your 80A inspired me to get mine. Well, you and Dave Hoffman.

Thanks. Who did the trigger, and what sort did you get?
(I had a trigger added to my Martin Monster, and it made a big difference, but it was so long ago, I can't remember who did the work.)
